HUNTER

My plan was working. It made me happy to see that despite how much Justin was trying hard to be the good guy, Astrid was beginning to see through his bullshit.

He was trying too hard, when it was obvious he could never be. His attempts were pathetic and they disgusted me.

He was as predictable as I had hoped. He got angry at anything that had to do with Astrid and would flare at even the slightest mention of her. That was perfect for my plans. I was going to exploit that as much as I could until it was too late for him to realize what he had been doing.

Astrid on the other hand was every bit as naive as Audrey had told me she was before she left to be with Justin. Astrid trusted way too easily and I planned on using that to my own benefit. For now, I think I had managed to get her on the palm of my hands. She was eating up every single lie I told her, hook, line and sinker.

It was easy to manipulate her and soon she would fall into my plans of making her hate Justin. She wa

    JUSTINI knew what I had to do to get the truth about Hunter’s intentions but I needed to do it fast before it was too late. It also wasn’t something I could do on my own, I needed both Jonah and Ryder in on this with me. I stared at the ceiling and decided that I couldn’t wait until I got to tell them about it. I reached for my mind and eased my walls down. “Are you guys there?” I asked through the mind link making sure I only got through to the guys and no one else. “I am,” Jonah called back though the link almost immediately.“Did you have to wake us up this early?” Ryder grumbled but he was awake and I was glad they were listening. “Yes, now shut up and listen. It’s clear that Hunter and I hate each other. But I think I have a plan on how to know why he’s really in this pack. But this isn’t something I can do, alone. I’ll need you guys to do a thing or two to help me expose his ass. Meet me in the school’s parking lot, in ten minutes.” I waited for a response but I was met wit

    JUSTIN“I am only doing this to protect Astrid. The fucker wants my mate, I can’t let him have her, J. I only just got her back. Plus, you and I both know that he couldn’t possibly be here just to be friends with her.” Ryder was already even more convinced but Jonah looked rather skeptical, his brows were knitted into a frown.“If it is to protect Astrid then I am in,” Ryder said and I smiled at him. Thanks buddy.A minute passed and Jonah still hadn’t agreed to this plan.“Look,” I started. “This is my chance to show her that he’s not friend material and to get on her good graces. I need her to forgive me and want me back. I can’t lose her, J.” The corners of my lips already started to tug into a smile from the expression I saw on his face. I had him where I wanted him.“Fine geez. You look like you’re about to hug me or some shit. I’m in…” he frowned as he moved closer, “...but I still think it is a bad idea though.”“Thank you,” I said sincerely, already backing away to head to cla

    JUSTINI couldn’t do this!I couldn’t pretend to be friendly with Hunter, not when every nerve in me was screaming at me to put him in his place. But I had no choice. If I wanted to protect Astrid, I needed to keep Hunter close. I don’t have a choice but to play this game.“For Astrid,” I muttered under my breath, my voice raw. “I have to do this for myself.”I gripped my hands tightly together, trying to steady my breathing. Hunter couldn’t win. Not now, not ever. And now with this Raina girl showing up, things were only going to get more complicated. There was something off about her, something dangerous. She wasn’t just some random new student. There was an unsettling familiarity between her and Hunter, like they shared a secret and they made them both even more of a threat. I had no idea who she was or what she wanted, but whatever it was, I knew one thing- Astrid had to be shielded from it all.I saw them moving closer to where I was staying so I moved away to hide myself from t

    ASTRIDA date, he said. The words tumbled through my mind, jumbled and disorganized, like a storm of thoughts I couldn’t control as I gently closed the door behind me and walked to my room. Justin asked me out, and even though I despised him, the thought of spending a day with him made my heart race. It was absurd, really. I had never been asked out before, and the one time it happened, it was him- the same person who had caused me so much pain. I hated him, that was true. I hated him for the way her made me feel, for how he had seen the truth and now wouldn’t leave me alone. He was asking me out only because I hadn’t killed his sister and I was his mate and not because he had feeling for me. It wasn’t a genuine invitation- it was just something he had to do as per his duty or maybe some misguided form of redemption. Yet, the thought of being with him, even in a purely formal sense made my pulse quicken. I walked to the mirror and glanced at my reflection in the mirror, trying to

    JUSTINI stood outside Astrid’s house, feeling like my chest was about to burst out of my chest. My palms were sweaty, and no matter how many times I wiped them on my jeans, they stayed damp. The butterflies had been relentless all day, twisting my stomach into knots since the moment I woke up. I could still hear Jonah and Ryder’s teasing voice echoing in my head from earlier. “So, you are taking Astrid on a date?” Ryder smirked, folding his arms over his chest, clearly enjoying my discomfort. “Yeah, she finally said yes...” I had replied, trying to play it cool. “So where are you taking her, man?” Ryder asked, now grinning like a child with candy. I chucked nervously, shaking my head. “It is a secret,” I said, smirking. There was no way I was letting this out. The truth was, I hadn’t completely figured out whether the spot I chose would be the right one, but I hoped it would make her happy. Jonah laughed, nudging my shoulders. “Oh come on, Justin. You have been acting like a lov

    ASTRIDI was not sure how to feel when Justin told me he wanted to come with me. It was meant to be a simple request for permission to leave the pack to find a witch, I had known he’d say he wanted to come along but now it seemed like everything was about to spiral out of control. His insistence on coming along with me only complicated things further.How was I supposed to find a way to leave if he was right there with me?I stared blankly at his moving lips, barely hearing what he was saying. My mind was racing. I could not let him accompany me. He might have been sincere with his offer, but I didn’t want to risk another emotional entanglement or worse, being blamed if something went wrong. Justin was so adamant about keeping me safe. I understood that he was trying to protect me, and I knew that deep down he cared. But I didn’t want to be the cause of him getting hurt or worse, getting myself imprisoned again because he got hurt for my sake. I wanted to avoid that possibility altog

    JUSTIN“I need to go,” she said as she stood up from there she was sitting and headed for the door and it felt like my life was going to end. My heart was pounding loudly, each beat louder than the last as I watched her walk to the door. She looked so certain and was hell bent on leaving, but I could not let her walk away like this especially not tonight. “Astrid, wait. Please.” My voice came out a little hoarse, but I pushed forward. “Stay. Please, just for tonight.”She stopped as she got to the door but she didn’t turn around immediately and my breath caught in my throat at I wanted for her to respond, to turn, to say something, anything. There was a moment of silence and I could see was hesitant, then she slowly turned to face me. Her eyes that filled with uncertainty, met mine and I walked closer to her. “We don’t have to do anything,” I added quickly, desperate to get the words out, to get through to her before she could refuse. “I just… I just want to prove to you that I me

    JUSTIN“You like that don’t you?” I asked but before she could answer, I sucked down on that spot again earning a moan from her. When I was done kissing her neck, I trialed my way back to her lips and she kissed me back hungrily as I flipped her over with me now being on top, her hands moved to my shirt once again and I aided her in taking it off. She followed my lead, taking off her own shirt, and my mind was going crazy with every passing second. The sight of her bare skin against the soft glow of the cabin lights was almost too much to handle. Her fingers worked her way to the waistband of my shorts, and she pulled them down my legs, leaving me in nothing but boxers. I kicked them off before leaning down to kiss her again, this time with a hunger that I could not control and could only be satisfied by her. I climbed on top of her, my way making it to her nipples as I pinched them softly and she responded with a soft moan which only made me harder than I already was. I paused f

    JUSTINMy heart was pounding against my chest widely and a strange feeling settled over me as my eyes drifted from my father to my mother . I had never seen my parents so- tense like that before, the seemed so bothered about something I couldn’t understand why it was. My father’s jaw was tight and my mother’s lips were pressed together in a tight line as if she was trying to hold back her words. For the first time in my entire life, it seemed like there was an unresolved issue lingering between them, something neither of them wanted to talk about.My mother sat down and my father sat beside her, he held her hands tightly as if to anchor him. Then with a small sigh, he started talking. “There’s something I haven’t told you before and I guess this is the time for you to know, Justin,” he let out, his voice firm but I could tell the tension underneath it. “Years before I met your mother or even began dating her… I used to date a witch.”I frowned at what he said, refusing to believe his

    JUSTINI knew something was off about that girl right from the start. And right here, she proved me right the moment she disappeared. Of course, she was a witch but why had she come here only to disappear? Why show herself now if it wasn’t a part of some plan?I turned around and saw Astrid with wide and startled eyes, a million thoughts were swirling in her head. I could hear her thoughts and she was back to thinking about her wolf, back to believing she needed a witch to fix whatever was wrong with her wolf. But not this witch. Raina, Sasha, or whatever she called herself. She was the wrong person for that. A very wrong one and I had this feeling she was dangerous too. It was clear too.I walked to Astrid and placed my hand on her arm, but her mind was too preoccupied with what she was thinking she knew about Raina. “Astrid,” I whispered through our link. “Look at me. She is not the witch you're looking for, snap out of it, baby. Raina is a liar and a friend of Hunter’s. She can’t

    ASTRIDI was sure it was him- or at least, I thought I was. Maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me, spinning my fears into shadows outside the window. I didn’t feel safe. Not anywhere. Not anymore. The only place I felt safe was in Justin’s arms. But what are we going to do now?I was trembling and crying quietly into his chest as he held me tight, his hands rubbing my back up and down soothingly. The only thing that comforted me was his presence and the warmth of his body. Not even a minute later, the room was filled with everyone else. The door burst open, and my parents and Justin’s came inside. I could feel their eyes on me, I could see the worry in their eyes and I started feeling overwhelmed. “What happened?” Justin’s mother asked, her voice laced with concern. “The fucker was here,” Justin replied her, his voice was strained and I could tell he was trying to control his anger. “Astrid saw him.”They all let out a low gasp immediately the words came out of Justin’s m

    JUSTINI was torn between staying with Astrid to protect her and the baby and going over to where Hunter was to confront him. I felt that familiar feeling of fear and all my body became tense as my mind started racing, calculating the risks. Under no circumstances must Hunter find out about the baby. If he found out, his games could get dirtier, more dangerous, and I could not afford that. Not now. Not ever. I pressed a kiss to Astrid’s temple, she was too focused on her ice cream, completely unaware of anything happening while mine was melting in my hand, dripping down my fingers. So, I got to eating it and took my eyes back to where Hunter was, but he was gone like he had never been there. I turned Astrid and tried to get her walking so we could get out of there but she wasn’t budging. “I want another one,” she whined, holding out her empty cone. I forced a smile, trying to keep my fear out of my eyes and our link. “We have to leave sweetheart,” I said, my voice steady despite th

    JUSTINWith an opponent hot on my heels, I ran across the pitch, the wind whipping over my hair. I didn't care that running had scorched my lungs and pushed my legs to the breaking point. There was only one thing on my mind- reaching the goal post. I focused, dodged an opponent and narrowed my eyes. And Immediately I got to the goal post, I swung the pusher against the ball straight into the net. The stadium exploded in cheers as soon as the ball got past the goalkeeper and into the net.Victory. I turned immediately to the stands, my eyes searching for the one face that made this whole moment worth it. Astrid was there, her eyes shining with pride and a big smile playing at the corners of her lips. I blew her a kiss, grinning like a fool. I could barely hear my teammates rushing towards me, to celebrate with me. The championship game had just started and this was our third win. I ran to where she was in the crowd in the stand as soon as the game ended. I immediately lifted her int

    HUNTERI stared at Raina and her mother, Celeste, with a bored expression plastered across my face. The room felt suffocating with their presence, their very existence was dripping with deceit. If there was one thing I had learnt from dealing with these two, it was that they were up to something. The fact that they had the audacity to show up at my pack unannounced only confirmed my suspicions. Whatever they were planning, I needed to figure it out- and fast. I had zoned out for a moment, allowing the dull hum of their voices fade to become background noise, but then, Celeste called my name, snapping me back to the conversation. I blinked, trying to focus on her as she spoke. “Hunter, we heard what happened,” she said with sympathy in her voice and I rolled my eyes. “So, what are your plans now?” She asked, her voice smooth and practiced. It was as if she was trying to sound genuinely concerned, but I knew better. I could see the calculation in her eyes, the way her lips curled into

    ASTRID "It was- I…” I opened my mouth to respond, but then it hit me. It has actually been a while. I stared up at her, my eyes widening as a wave of terror and bewilderment passed over me. With my heart pounding, I muttered, "It can't be." “We have… well- it can’t be what I’m thinking right? I mean yes, we have done it a few times. Well a lot since that day but could I really be?” My heart was beating fast against my chest and the room bounced a little in my eyes. Goddess.She nodded knowingly. “There is a high chance,” she replied. “I have a few pregnancy test strips in the pack’s first aid kit downstairs. You stay put, I'll go and grab one for you.” I nodded in response.As she left the room, I felt my mind waving. This was exciting, but also terrifying. This was not the right time at all. A lot was still going on. Hunter was still out there. What if he found out? And school- oh my God, I still had two years left. How was I supposed to manage being pregnant and finishing school? I

    ASTRIDA few weeks has passed since I found out about my adoption, Hunter’s intentions and Justin getting hurt. My relationship with Justin had gotten even better and it was flourishing. Even now, I was still in shock at how much had changed so quickly. I no longer felt the weight surrounding me, and for the first time in my life, I felt like I fit somewhere. My relationship with my parents was… progressing. Slowly. But, we were getting there. The hardest part, though, was trying to get used to Justin’s mother change in attitude and how she was so sweet to me now. I was finding it hard to accommodate her but I was sure I’d get there eventually. Justin had helped me pack my things back into the Alpha’s home after everything had settled down and it felt good to be back, surrounded by people that cared about me. And I could always see Justin and not wait or count down until time I would get to see him. Everything was going well. All was well. But there was a nagging feeling at the back

    ASTRIDBest news of the year. Hell, best news of my life. She loves me.Astrid, the girl who always made my heart race, who kept me awake at night, and haunted my thoughts whether she was around or not, had finally confessed to loving me back. I felt a raw, powerful feeling go through my veins as soon as she finished speaking. A high I hadn't felt in years. It was taking up all of my mental space, making the physical anguish I was experiencing seem unreal and distant. I forced myself up, scowling at the way the stitches were pulling at my flesh, ignoring the pulsating pain in my ribs. Astrid, always the worrier, immediately moved to get me to lay back down. She attempted to gently lead me back to the bed by saying, "Justin, you're still hurt." But I would have none of it. Grabbing her wrist, I pulled her in until she was inches from my face. I could smell her skin, that subtle aroma that always made me crazy, and I could feel the warmth of her breath. She made an effort to make me
